I've never seen honesty for sale as plants. Having germinated, pricked out, potted on and grown on this plant I've found it doesn't like all that messing about. It likes to be sown in the ground and left where it is.

Like that it won't be an easy and profitable project which growers like.

Thanks punkdoc and nutcutlet, I have bought some seeds and I shall sow them where they are to grow ( as nature intended). I have had some honesty in an old garden and it self seeded well, but I have never had the rather pretty variegated version with it's pretty 'frosting' on it's leaves. I guess I shall just sow them and have to wait until next year to see them in bloom. Thanks anyway

Yes, I love the way that the leaves look like they have frosting all around them. I am looking forward to seeing the seeds grow. I know that last year Suttons were selling 16 plug plants of this variety but they do not have any now.
